LIVE: Shrewsbury v Pompey

Key Events

  • Danny Cowley’s side return to action after 10 days away
  • The Blues are looking to record the third consecutive league victory
  • Tyler Walker aiming to score first goal since his loan arrival from Coventry

Pompey should lead. Romeo whips an inviting ball to the back post and finds Hume unmarked who heads wide. Massive chance. Should score.

Shrewsbury have been reduced to 10-men. Josh Vela has been given his marching orders.

GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL

Aiden O’Brien levels with his second in as many games! He reacts quickly to a rebound and sees his volley creep over the line. 1-1!

Romeo did well to keep the ball in play on the byline and find O’Brien, whose venomous strike was blocked before it was able to test Marosi.

George Hirst is on hand to clear the ball after Shrewsbury whipped a free-kick into the box.

Davis can’t continue but is able to walk off the pitch with assistance. He’s replaced by Tyrese Fornah.

Small stoppage in play as Davis requires treatment

Reaction to Pompey going behind

15 - Goal for Shrewsbury

Corner from the left finds Luke Leahy - who heads home. Pompey’s good defensive work undone.

Should be 1-0 to Pompey. Elliott Bennett carelessly plays the ball across goal before Curtis snatches it but drills hit shot wide. How’s he not scored?
